Mitigating Pandemic Covid-19 in the Shoe Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, shoe manufacturing industry in Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia experienced a decline in production, especially the production of branded shoes such as Adidas, Nike and New Balance. This product’s launch ensures that the company will use layoffs for a larger quantity. The shoe industry is also required to implement health protocols and operating permits from the Indonesia government. In order to overcome decline in production, during Covid-19 pandemic, companies feel need to look for solutions, innovations, in order to survive and continue to operate. Some initial steps can be taken by making direct observations in the shoe manufacturing industry and conducting studies using a Lean Manufacturing approach. From the conditions that occur in the shoe manufacturing industry and studies using Lean Manufacturing methods, a new concept emerged, a solution innovation, which was named ELLYSAKL.
